"Everyhing we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace. Our internal state determines our experience of our lives; our experiences do not determine our internal state." (Excerpted from A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles)

I find this quote is a beautiful pointer at the power that is contain within. We don't always have control of the circumstances around us. But we always have the possibility to stop and ask: what is my life all about right now? What are my thoughts all about right now? And we always have the power to stop all internal wars and make this a moment of Peace.
